Question about the logistics of leaving

I'm leaning toward leaving my university position because of disability/chronic illness. My university is nominally willing to accommodate, but they devote so few resources to faculty accommodation that, in practice, most of my time outside of teaching is spent trying to fight for accommodation/plan around missing accommodation. I got into this field to do research, and at this point I have so little time for research that it just seems clear the job isn't working out. I'm not going to be tenureable at this rate, and I also have very little job satisfaction.

My question really has to do with how these departures usually work in a university setting. My classes have all been planned for next year, and, best case, I'd like to see out the year. (I have some classes that I'm looking forward to teaching, and I think that, if I wasn't constantly spinning my wheels trying to straighten out all this accessibility stuff, I would be able to publish a bit in a way that would be meaningful to me.) I know that, when people leave because they don't get tenure, they usually do stay on for a year after their tenure denial. Is it possible to give notice/to state the intention to resign, but then stay on to finish out scheduled teaching? How are these departures usually timed/scheduled?

I'm sure it can vary enormously, but I wonder what people's experiences have been.
